'GAA Athletes for a No Vote'

[longballin]

It is noticeable no big names have got involved from Dublin, Kerry, Mayo... very much a Nordie initiative  though looks like only a few got involved

Not surprising given that the GAA in a the North is inextricably connected to Catholicism and Nationalism

GAA is a nationalist organisation... can be a nationalist without being a Catholic.

I think the players from Dublin, Kerry and mayo are to busy preparing for an assault on the all Ireland rather than getting side tracked by this stuff.

Totally

As far as I can see, we have current players from Tyrone, Armagh, Donegal and Antrim actively campaigning for a No vote.
Am I missing anyone?

Don't think so... is also a few camogs and your man Joe

[Jinxy]

Actually, speaking of Joe, do you remain a member of the GPA after you've retired from intercounty football?
Did Jayo get his MBA scholarship while he was still playing?

GAA is a nationalist organisation... can be a nationalist without being a Catholic.

And what percentage of Nationalists in the North are Protestants........0.00001?

I've been disappointed that no GAA players bar Eamon McGee have put their heads above the parapet to come out on the Yes side.

The #men4yes campaign, with Richard Sadlier, Gordon D'Arcy and Andy Lee involved, would have been, and still is, a good opportunity.

I sense a lot of men who may privately back a Yes are reluctant to say much as they may sort of feel this issue can be filed away neatly into that easily forgettable box called "women's issues", and a lot of men tend not to like publicly voicing their thoughts in favour of women's rights.

As someone said most leading GAA players are busily preparing for the Hurling and Football Championships.
Many also presumably feel that how they'll vote in a secret ballot is nobody's business but their own.

Yeah, just because so many media personalities are lining up behind the approved side of the debate in order to maintain their credibility within the D4 set doesn't mean that any GAA players have an obligation to do so.

I'm struggling to think of any 'current' sports people that have come out and advocated for a 'Yes' vote.
All of those #men4yes lads are retired, as is McGee obviously.

Your initial response just epitomizes the stupid, Johnny One Up, snarky, know it all attitude, that exists on this board.

(BTW .....I never said that Nationalism was the exclusive preserve of Catholics, I said it was inextricably connected .....big difference)
